Inspired by Apple's unique Cover Flow design, Li Jianye decided to cut a few corners in functionality (it only holds 5 jewel cases, after all) in order to create the ultimate homage to clever interface that all us iTunes users know so well and love. So, if you're willing to sacrifice a little actual CD storage space, the iShelf may just be the perfect fit in helping create the ultimate Apple-decked out bachelor (or bachelorette) pad.
We would have preferred a little more thought into creating an actual animated Cover Flow effect, but we understand that keeping hundreds of CD cases on a thin little wall plate might not be the greatest idea if you're looking to keep your sheetrock intact.
The iShelf is still a prototype design for now, but we're sure Li Jianye would love to hear a little feedback if the art display lovers out there enjoy the design as much as we did in showcasing old CD art.

While it would not be practical for home use for me, I see it as a great way to highlight certain artists or products in a retail environment. Something like an employee-recommended section on a wall.
